Spicy, tangy + hearty with an asian flare. If you avoid fish because you can’t stand the taste, you’ll love these salmon cakes because they’re packed full of flavour without the fishiness. There is also very little prep, and they’re so versatile you can have them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Soooooo easy but incredibly tasty!
